Topic: Books on the Russian Civil War WWI and other wars (Read 64392 times)

generalstab.org has many of the WW I and II official histories of some countries online.

I don't know if I have mentioned this before but the same people who gave us the great war channel WW I week by week. Also have between 2 wars which deals with the period 1919 to 1939. They also have ww2 week by week which I am finding better on average than WW I series.

Article "The Russian Empire: Too Nice for its own good" by Anatoly Karlin on progressive the Russian Empire was includes a picture of Nicholas II tatoo on his right arm also a picture of a gun store in Chelyabinsk which looks like something out of the old west. Note Chelyabinsk is the the south of Ekaterinburg.

Books I have recently readThe Revolution of 1905 in Odessa by Robert Weinberg deals with Odessa and the 1905 revolution period and how it affected the city and why it had such a bad Pogrom against Jews.Tannenberg The First Thirty days in East Prussia by MG Sir Edmund Ironside (Later a Field Marshall see his wiki bio) deals with the battles of fought in East Prussia, including Tannenberg in the first part of WW I not the best book in the world does have a good selection of maps and has some good insites on the German and Russian armies and what they did right and got wrong.
